We are aware of an issue preventing some users from receiving notifications on their iPhone after updating to iOS 13. If you're having trouble receiving notifications and you updated your iPhone or iPad to iOS 13, follow the steps in this article, which are also documented below:

I’ve already done all of this and it still doesn’t work. iOS 13 is a pile of rubbish and has broken a lot of my apps

I have an IPhone so can only rely info regarding this. Your will have an App listed as settings on your screen. Click on the setting app and it will take to a list of options. One of the options listed is Notifications. Click onto that it you get a listing of all your apps and this is where you set your notifications for Fitbit. If you want to receive notifications from Fitbit enable the tab the says “Allow notifications”. You can select the type of alerts you want, along with sounds etc.
In your Fitbit App, under the account setting you’ll see you FitBit device and further down you see various options. Listed in this is also a notification setting where you can receive notification from low battery to challenges to exercise milestones. Listed this is also an email notification feature where you can select and enable whatever notifications you want to receive.
i have a Blaze and on my watch I can slide (swipe left) the screen over exercise, fitstar, relax, timer, alarms, settings.

You’ll want to check to see if your Bluetooth is enabled as well.

So here is another notification issue and before, you, Fitbit tell me to check my notifications all have been checked. I also don’t get my get up and walk notifications and that vibration, notification, fireworks that I’ve reach my daily goal. So this to say, on top of no txt, calls, messages notification I get NOTING. At this point FITBIT Is COMPLETELY USELESS.

My Fitbit (charge 3) stopped syncing to the app ever since the update so i removed the device. Now it’s not able to sync back to the app. I Have rebooted the Fitbit as well as the iPhone. Have turned Bluetooth on and off. It doesn’t want to sync. 😞
